Picture Time

So, I've been tagged to show the 4th picture in my 4th folder. Well, you all know I take lots of pictures so this one goes waaay back. However, it was one of my favorite pictures and it made me soooo happy and baby hungry. Good thing I am having a baby soon :) (I may regret that statement in a couple of weeks) Here is a picture of Christopher and I when he was probably about 2-3 months? Enjoy. . . .





I tag : Sam Taggart, Lacey Edstrom, and Angela Mitchell

Like Daddy

Our Daddy returned home safely from his week long business trip last night.  This morning, Christopher has followed him all around the house (which is a nice break for me!).  I love how much little boys want to be like their Daddy's in EVERYTHING they do!  I think this picture is so precious.  I love my guys!

This is what I want to do to my house RIGHT NOW. Sigh . . . . . I have issues.

This post is dedicated to two special girls in my life who are having BIRTHDAYS!!! Happy Birthday to Jamie, my little sister, who is not so little anymore. 19 years old! Can't believe it! You are a wonderful girl and a fabulous sister. I love you soooooo much!

And, a big Happy 26th to one of my bestest friends in the whole world! Thanks for always being there through ALLLLL these years! I love you very very much!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS!!!!!

So Fun

So, another Halloween has come and gone. These are some things I have observed : 1. I still like candy way too much and because Christopher was such an amazing trick or treater, we HAVE way too much. 2. I am still a scaredy cat and I made Davin go with Christopher to any houses that looked like they might have something surprising, spooky, or that dumb Halloween soundtrack with the cackling witch. Christopher is pretty brave though! At one house where some college age kids were having a Halloween party, the girl passing out candy announced "Get the bunny. Get the bunny!!" I was thinking Ohh. How cute. They have a little, soft bunny for Christopher to see. Uhhh. . . I was clearly wrong. A huge guy, (looking about 8 feet tall) dressed in a bunny costume started coming down the hall, ducking under doorways. Davin and I were seriously ready to run screaming into the night! This was the biggest, scariest bunny I'd ever seen. However, Christopher proceeded to give high fives and check out this massive guy. Hilarious! And finally, 3. Even a three year old can think his mom is embarrassing. Observe the following pictures :

This one is : I cannot believe this lady. Taking pictures while there is candy out there for the taking!

This one is: "Parents." (While clearly rolling his eyes)

And, the final one : I wanna go! (and he really shouted that.)

Then, there is me. Clearly thinking my little boy is posing a perfect smile and thinking Thank you mommy for taking me trick or treating, even in your very small bladdered, large bellied condition. Awwww. We had a great time.

Beautiful Fall

I just had to share how lucky I am to live in a place that has one of the most beautiful fall seasons I have ever seen. These are just pictures from our little road and don't do Portland justice. But, as you can see, the trees are spectacular! I will always love my Idaho Falls, but actually having a fall to enjoy and relish in has not been a bad thing :)

Happy Halloween To All!

So, it's another moment you have all been WAITING and ANTICIPATING! What is Christopher going to be for HALLOWEEN?!!!!! Well, looking at the poll, 61% of you thought he would make a great Thomas the Train. And . . . . . . . . .

You're RIGHT! Choo Choo! Happy Halloween Everybody!!!!
